HOUSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Waste Management, Inc. (NYSE: WM) today announced that it has priced a
$4 billion aggregate public offering of senior notes under an effective
shelf registration statement previously filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), as follows:

The notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the company’s
wholly-owned subsidiary, Waste Management Holdings, Inc. The notes have
been assigned ratings of A- by Standard & Poor’s, BBB+ by Fitch and Baa1
by Moody’s.

The offering is expected to close on May 22, 2019, subject to the
satisfaction of closing conditions. The company intends to use the net
proceeds from the offering to pay a portion of the consideration for the
previously announced acquisition of Advanced Disposal Services, Inc. and
related fees and expenses, to fund a previously announced tender offer
to purchase for cash certain senior notes issued by Waste Management,
Inc. and Waste Management Holdings, Inc. and for general corporate
purposes. However, under specified circumstances, if the acquisition of
Advanced Disposal Services, Inc. is not consummated on or prior to July
14, 2020, the company will be required to redeem all of the outstanding
2024 notes, 2026 notes, 2029 notes and 2039 notes at a redemption price
equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued
and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date.

This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the
solicitation of an offer to buy the notes described herein, nor shall
there be any sale of these notes in any jurisdiction in which such
offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or
qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. The
notes will be offered only by means of a prospectus, including the
prospectus supplement relating to the notes, and any free writing
prospectus prepared by or on behalf of us, each of which meeting the
requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. A
securities rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold
securities and may be subject to revision, suspension or withdrawal at
any time. Each credit rating should be evaluated independently of any
other credit rating.
